Looks like Vincent his hanging on to the good rolls for a while yet.

Forbidden Lore Xenos 1d100 ⇒ 40

Brother Emeric repeats his own transmission to the Kill-team leader, grateful that his brethren have secured the extraction zone without incident. A host of questions vie for urgency in his cogitating mind now that communications have be reestablished.

Last Stand on Tantalus
Round #1
Battlemap

Conditions:

• Scale: Each square = 2 meters.
  
• Fortified Plateau: Kill-team Umbra has had time to prepare the Southern Plateau with earthworks, trenches, and foxholes, transforming this patch of arctic waste into a redoubt against the Tyranid assault. Any space marine participating in this combat may use the Tactical Advance action as either a Half Action or a Full Action, so long as they remain in the immediate vicinity of the plateau.
  
• Icy Bolt-Holes: Battle-brothers remaining in the darkened trench areas gain the benefit of Cover equivalent to thick ice (AP = 8). Even those battle-brothers roaming the plateau can gain the benefit of lesser wind-blown ice outcroppings (AP = 4). The tracked hauler provides an AP = 8 for anyone inside.
  
• Mole Mortar!: Karlack 2nd BS = 35, Rof: S/-/-, Damage: 2d10+2 X, Pen: 2, Clip: 1, Rld: Full, Special: Inaccurate, Shocking, Blast (4).
  Once per round (the crew has an experienced loader and spotter, allowing reloads each round) Brother Quintus can designate a target for the Mole Mortar set up inside the tracked hauler. As the mortar has a minimum range of 50m, the target must be part of the encroaching horde (excluding enemy forces on the plateau). The mortar applies its damage to either of the two Vanguard Hordes, each possessing a Magnitude of 60.
  
• Vanguard Hordes:Two Immense (+40 to hit), Magnitude 60 Tyranid Vanguard Hordes comprised of termagants and hormagaunts begin the battle 6 rounds away from contact with the Kill-team. These Tyranid are the probing, feral tip of the swarm's southern spearhead, and thus are not bio-modified to possess ranged weaponry. They may be fired upon normally. For rounds 1-3 they are considered at Extreme Range (-30 to hit), 4-6 Long Range (-10 to hit).
  

Initiative Roles for NPC Units:

Commissar Sander and the Karlack 2nd (Horde, Magnitude = 20), 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12.

Kill-team Umbra's splinter squad charges out from under the rusting pipeline on to a sloping hillock within sight of the extraction zone rendezvous. Redoubling their efforts, they careen down the snow-drifted mount, trying to reach their brethren in time as they begin their last stand.

Hrothgar, Emeric, and Caledonii, please roll Initiative, you will enter combat from the eastern edge of the map from higher ground on Round #2. Your secondary objective, Comm Tower Gambit, was a complete success, one point of Cohesion gained for the final confrontation.

Initiative 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The beast within yearns to be unleashed.

Hrothgar grips his weapons, bares his fangs into a grim smile, "Our foes shall fall."

Entering Squad Mode; who's the leader by the way of our demi-squad?

Is one of the lg hordes on the side I am on? That would be an open shot for the mole mortar.

All Forbidden Lore (Xenos) tests to positively identify the Raveners failed.

Successive explosions of frozen permafrost and chunks of jagged ice blast into the air as the ground shakes with a tripartite earthquake around the perimeter of the Southern Plateau. Before the last shards of falling rock and ice mist have settled, swarms of skittering hormagaunts pour forth from gaping rents in the uneven ice cover. As the swarms turn to converge on the battle-brothers and guardsmen, three enormous Tyranid warrior-caste bio-forms erupt from the ground behind them, the tunneling behemoths ripping themselves free from the womb of frozen rock in a violent birth of clambering scything talons, scrabbling for purchase. Once free, the Raveners move with a preternatural serpentine grace on their coiled lower bodies, closing on their prey with blinding speed and a single-minded hunger.

The Last Stand on Tantalus has begun, Brother Vex acts first as Kill-team Umbra was prepared for the Tyranid assault due to Brother Syne's success at standing sentinel.

Is one of the lg hordes on the side I am on? That would be an open shot for the mole mortar.

Lorm, the Vanguard Hordes are considered "off the map" to the south of your position until round #6, but still can be fired upon by either yourself (with the penalties above) or the mole mortar. Because of the long range of the mole mortar, the penalties for hitting the Tyranid Vanguard hordes are reduced considerably:

Rounds 1-3 [Long Range, -10 to BS]
Rounds 4-6 [Short Range, +10 to BS]

"Kommisar, start firing the mortar at the southern hordes."

With both Krak Grenades in hand I throw them into the erupting horde aimed at the Warrior sized Nids.

Ballistic Skill (1d100=39)

Krak Grenade 1 (3d10+4=23)

+1 damage from Death is Joy Extra d10 for righteous fury. [/ooc]

Righteous Fury (1d10=3)

Krak Grenade 2 (3d10+4=25)

After throwing my grenades I quickly draw my force sword and bolt pistol.

Over the Karlack 2nd's vox-channel Brother Quintus and the rest here Commissar Sander's steely reply,

<<<"You heard the Lord-Astartes, prepare to fire!">>>

The spotter's voice then comes over the vox, his voice harried but clear as he sounds the terra-firma beneath his feet, judging depth and trajectory for his burrowing munitions.

<<<Plotting subterranean angle, -21.1°, south-southeast, angle of incidence verified, LOAD!>>>"

There is a slight pause, followed by ratcheting sounds.

<<<Target confirmed, FIRE!">>>

Another jarring shudder ripples across the plateau, and the stationary cargo hauler rocks on its treads as the mole mortar fires.

BS = 35, -10 (Long Range), modified BS = 25, 1d100 ⇒ 11, a hit!.

Rolling damage, 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10, just enough to penetrate AP and TB for the Vanguard Horde. Vanguard Horde #1 sustains 5 Magnitude damage (4 for Blast (4) +1 for the Explosive Quality).

A puff of black smoke appears on the distant horizon to the south, launching a puff of snow airborne along with the dismembered bodies of dozens of the encroaching Tyranid, followed by a hoarse cheer from the mortar crew over the vox-link.

Commissar Sander forestalls the celebration:

<<<RELOAD!!!>>>

With both Krak Grenades in hand I throw them into the erupting horde aimed at the Warrior sized Nids.

Righteous Fury (1d10=3)

Brother Vex, as the krak grenades can only be thrown one at a time, I will use your first roll for damage. I just need to know whether you are targeting Hormagaunt Horde #1, or Ravener #1, as there is no Blast on the krak grenade it only can effect a single target.

EDIT: Brother Vex, saw above that you specified the Ravener.

Emerging from the sundered earth, the Tyranid has no time to avoid the high explosive, which detonates diectly beneath its serpentine lower body with a loud KRUMP!.

Damage inflicted is 26, with a Pen = 6 that negates AP = 6, and a TB of 8 yields 18 net Wounds to the Ravener.

The Tyranid shrieks as the flexible chitin that lines its serpentine lower body is flayed and torn by the explosion, causing it to fall forward awkwardly as it climbs from the hole.

The skittering hormagaunts surge out of their tunnels and move to overwhelm the defenders.

Hormagaunt Horde #1 makes a beeline for Brother Vex, WS = 45, 1d100 ⇒ 79, miss. Overwhelming Quality does not apply, as the horde is Magnitude 15, not meeting the threshold of 20. Brother Vex is now engaged in melee with the Horde.

Hormagaunt Horde #2 moves to engage Brother Sepheren, WS = 45, 1d100 ⇒ 66, miss. Overwhelming Quality does not apply, as the horde is Magnitude 15, not meeting the threshold of 20. Brother Sepheren is now engaged in melee with the Horde.

Hormagaunt Horde #3 moves to attack the tracked hauler, WS = 45, 1d100 ⇒ 10, a hit. Rolling damage, 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 8) + 5 = 23, Pen = 3, the damage rolled is enough to penetrate the armor of the hauler and the guardsmen, 2 points of Magnitude damage inflicted to the Karlack 2nd for degrees of success. Overwhelming Quality does not apply, as the horde is Magnitude 15, not meeting the threshold of 20.

The swarming 'nids collide with the battle-brothers, but both manage to hold their own, kicking and clawing the beasts away from their armor as they hold their ground.

The clutch to the northeast clamber over the tracked hauler as one, a handful scuttling in through open gunports even as the Karlack 2nd begins their disciplined fire, the shouts of surprise and screams from inside the fortified vehicle echo across the plateau.

My throw was against the Ravenors.

My throw was against the Ravenors.

Got it, Bal, results posted in edit above.

With the sound of crashing truncheons and Commissar Sander's chainsword roaring from within the trailer, the brief incursion is contained, and the Karlack 2nd begin a barrage of withering fire centered on the swarming hormagaunts.

BS = 35, +10 (Semi-Auto Burst), +30 (Point Blank Range), modified BS = 75, rolling, 1d100 ⇒ 94, a miss.

The guardsmen return to their firing stations too late from their clean-up within the hauler to do much damage, lasguns whining and cracking but doing little to slow the horde's advance.

Commissar Sander, BS = 46, +30 Point Blank Range, modified BS = 76, firing, 1d100 ⇒ 44, a hit, rolling damage, 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16, damage enough to harm the horde, dealing 1 point of Magnitude.

The commissar rallies the confused guardsmen, striding to the nearest firing port and burning away one, two, and then a third of the smothering hormagaunts with a blast from his plasma pistol.

With a clicking of half-frozen servo-engines, Magos Vyakai engages his automated survival subroutine, rising off the ground a few meters with his maglev generators to clear the swarming hormagaunts before rotating around and hovering in the direction of his foes. The Magos then levels his Infernus pistol at the towering Ravener just as it fully emerges beside him.

BS = 20, +30 (Point Blank Range), modified BS = 50, rolling, 1d100 ⇒ 74 a miss.

Due to a malfunction in the Magos' weapon mechadendrite, the recoil of the superheated blast causes it go wide, slagging an upright knob of frozen rock a meter to the left of the Tyranid.

Brother Quintus is next.

I will fire my flamer at horde #3.

Kill-team Umbra's splinter squad charges out from under the rusting pipeline on to a sloping hillock within sight of the extraction zone rendezvous. Redoubling their efforts, they careen down the snow-drifted mount, trying to reach their brethren in time as they begin their last stand.

Hrothgar, Emeric, and Caledonii, please roll Initiative, you will enter combat from the eastern edge of the map from higher ground on Round #2. Your secondary objective, Comm Tower Gambit, was a complete success, one point of Cohesion gained for the final confrontation.

Rising over the last hill before the extraction zone, we see the onslaught that our Kill-Team faces. Huge throngs of xenos bear down upon the Marines and guardsmen. Las-fire, bolter rounds, and grenade explosions send showers of ice, rock, and guts throughout the plateau.

"Brothers, tighten up, we need to reach the extraction zone before we get bogged down by these hordes. Fire at will on targets of opportunity but keep pressing forward. Remember your weapon. It is an extension of the Emperor's will. Praise your bolter's spirit for it thirsts for enemy blood."

Emeric enters Squad Mode/Fire for Effect

Last Stand on Tantalus

Round #1
Battlemap

Leveling the heavy bolter at the nearest alien monstrosity, Eli fires.

Full Auto Burst targeting Ravener #2. Ballistic skill +30 for Point Blank Range, +20 for Full Auto, +10 for Immovable Warrior, and +? for Ravener Size. This may actually exceed the maximum amount of bonuses that a test can receive so let me know.

BS 51 + 30 + 20 + 10 = 111 : 1d100=50

Stepping forward to better fan out the spreading pyre of promethium death, Brother Quintus bathes the swarming hormagaunts and the Ravener in shower of liquid fire.

Damage to the horde factoring in Cleanse and Purify and Unrelenting Devastation is 3d5+9, rolling 3d5 + 9 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + 9 = 16, rolling damage 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (3, 9) + 6 = 18, enough to score damage, validating the hits.

The hormagaunts beginning to swarm the tracked hauler are incinerated, turned to crackling brittle husks, tumbling across the melting ice away from the Guard position.

Hormagaunt horde #3 has been eliminated.

Sensing the onrushing flames, the larger xenos attempt to slither out of the path of the firestorm.

Ravener #3 attempts to Dodge, Dodge = 25 (unskilled, 1/2 Agility), rolling, 1d100 ⇒ 74, Dodge failed. Rolling damage, 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (4, 10) + 6 = 20, the Penetration of 6 negates the Raveners AP, and the TB mitigates damage to 12 Wounds damage. Rolling to see if the Ravener catches on fire, Agility = 50 - 20 (Cleanse and Purify Bonus), modified Agility = 30, rolling, 1d100 ⇒ 90, failed, Ravener #3 is on fire.

Even as the serpentine warrior-caste Tyranid attempts to escape the curtain of flame, Brother Quintus pivots his body, expertly encompassing the xenos in the scorching blast. Chitin sizzles and pops as the creature catches alight. It turns headlong into the source of its pain and charges through the firestorm toward the Ultramarine.

Leveling the heavy bolter at the nearest alien monstrosity, Eli fires.

Full Auto Burst targeting Ravener #2. Ballistic skill +30 for Point Blank Range, +20 for Full Auto, +10 for Immovable Warrior, and +? for Ravener Size. This may actually exceed the maximum amount of bonuses that a test can receive so let me know.

BS 51 + 30 + 20 + 10 = 111 : 1d100=50

Size modifier is Enormous [+20], Ellipsis, but you have already achieved the maximum bonus of +60.

Six degrees of success is achieved, yielding seven hits total.

Rolling damage:
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (9, 9) + 10 = 28, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 2, Damage = 28
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (7, 7) + 10 = 24, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 8, Damage = 25
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (9, 1) + 10 = 20, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 9, Damage = 28
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 2, Damage = 18
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (1, 8) + 10 = 19, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 7, Damage = 25
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (8, 1) + 10 = 19, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 1, Damage = 19
2d10 + 10 ⇒ (10, 6) + 10 = 26, Tearing die, 1d10 ⇒ 9, Damage = 26*
*Righteous Fury on last hit, 1d10 ⇒ 9, modified damage = 35

The Ravener senses the thudding fire of the heavy bolter as the first hits slam home, and attempts to quickly slither out of the fusillade.

The Ravener attempt to Dodge (25), 1d100 ⇒ 91, failed.

Hit after hit slams into the spasming xenos from behind, ripping its body apart in a shower of bright purple ichor and pulped carapace. It ceases to exist as a solid object in a matter of seconds.

Ravener #2 has been obliterated.

Taken aback as the hormagaunts erupt from the earth almost at his feet, Brother Sepheren raises his chainsword and begins to hack and cut at the swarming Tyranids.

WS = 44, +10 (Horde Size), modified Ws = 54 1d100 ⇒ 46, one degree of success, rolling damage, 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Damage with Penetration (4) this is just enough to cause a Wound, Hormagaunt horde #2 sustains one Magnitude damage.

Brother Decius is next, in summary, Hormagaunt horde #3 has been destroyed, Ravener #2 has been killed, Ravener #1 is wounded, and Ravener #3 is wound and on fire.

Emeric enters Squad Mode/Fire for Effect
Initiative Roll: d10+4

Brother Emeric enters Squad Mode, will seamlessly enter the Main Squad's Squad Mode from his Demi-Squad (nice term, by the way!) once combat is joined next round.

Hrothgar and Caledonii, just a recommendation, now that Emeric has entered Squad Mode, you both have the option of joining him as a Free Action before combat is entered.

NPC me please my internet is horrible I just got conection back and bearly to post I won't be able to be online probably 2 more days, thx

Taken aback as the hormagaunts erupt from the earth almost at his feet, Brother Sepheren raises his chainsword and begins to hack and cut at the swarming Tyranids.

WS = 44, +10 (Horde Size), modified Ws = 54 1d100, one degree of success, rolling damage, 1d10+3 Damage with Penetration (4) this is just enough to cause a Wound, Hormagaunt horde #2 sustains one Magnitude damage.

You need 2 degrees of success to get a melee hit on a horde, unless that was faqed. I will also enter the demi-squad mode.

Can I use fire for effect to fire on the incoming ravenger?

You need 2 degrees of success to get a melee hit on a horde, unless that was faqed. I will also enter the demi-squad mode.

Nope, that is just for additional melee hits to Magnitude, Caledonii, a straight hit still counts as 1 Magnitude damage.

Can I use fire for effect to fire on the incoming ravenger?

Yes, Lorm, you may.

Hrothgar entered squad mode as noted in my earlier post.

Guys, bolter drill?

Just tell me when to fire.

As the hormagaunts swarm around Brother Sepheren, Brother Decius sidesteps, centering his bolter on the mass of scuttling horrors before firing.

Brother Decius fires a Full-Auto Burst at Hormagaunt Horde #2.

BS = 46, +20 Full-Auto Burst, -20 (Firing into Melee), +20 (Horde Size), +30 (Point Blank Range), modified BS = 96, firing, 1d100 ⇒ 28, a hit with six degrees of success.

Damage:

1d10 ⇒ 7, 1d10 ⇒ 9, Tearing Die: 1d10 ⇒ 10, +5, = 24* Damage.

*Righteous Fury, 1d10 ⇒ 10, total damage: 34**
**Righteous Fury, 1d10 ⇒ 7, total damage: 41

1d10 ⇒ 6, 1d10 ⇒ 7, Tearing Die: 1d10 ⇒ 4, +5, = 18 Damage.

1d10 ⇒ 2, 1d10 ⇒ 8, Tearing Die: 1d10 ⇒ 7, +5, = 20 Damage.

1d10 ⇒ 7, 1d10 ⇒ 10, Tearing Die: 1d10 ⇒ 5, +5, = 22*** Damage.

***Righteous Fury, 1d10 ⇒ 9, total damage: 31

All hits yield damage, 4 + 1 (Explosive Quality) = 5 Magnitude damage to Hormagaunt Horde #2.

The bolter roars, Brother Decius sowing death back and forth as he sweeps his holy weapon across the xenos, rendering them down to shattered chitin and pulped viscera.

The ravener, completely engulfed in flames, charges Brother Quintus, talons raised high overhead to bring pain to the source of its agony.

Fire at will, Brother Quintus, just remember if you do, this will be your Reaction for the round.

This also goes for Brother Vex, and Brother Syne, although I'd imagine Brother Vex will prefer to save his Reaction for a Parry or Dodge, but I'll leave that to Bal. Brother Sepheren and Brother Decius will use their Reaction following everyone else, prior to the ravener's attacks.

One of the larger hormagaunts turns from the mass attacking Brother Sepheren and skitters across the uneven ice toward the Iron Snake. Taking careful aim, he snaps off another well-aimed shot at the creature.

BS = 46, +20 (Horde Size), +30 (Point Blank Range), modified BS = 96, firing, 1d100 ⇒ 89, a hit with Fire For Effect.

Damage:

1d10 ⇒ 10, 1d10 ⇒ 7, Tearing Die: 1d10 ⇒ 7, +5, = 22* Damage.

*Righteous Fury, 1d10 ⇒ 3, total damage = 25, enough to inflict another point of damage to Magnitude.

Drawing his bolt pistol, the Apothecary follows suit, blasting one of the creatures as it scampers toward his legs.

BS = 49, +20 (Horde Size), modified BS = 69, firing, 1d100 ⇒ 48, a hit with Fire For Effect.

Damage:

1d10 ⇒ 4, 1d10 ⇒ 9, Tearing Die: 1d10 ⇒ 6, +5, = 20 Damage. Enough to inflict a point of Magnitude damage to the Hormagaunt Horde.

This also goes for Brother Vex, and Brother Syne, although I'd imagine Brother Vex will prefer to save his Reaction for a Parry or Dodge, but I'll leave that to Bal. Brother Sepheren and Brother Decius will use their Reaction following everyone else, prior to the ravener's attacks.

Yeah I was saving it for a parry. Brother Vex isn't known for being nimble on his feet.

Pretty sure we are limited to Quintus' Devastator and Ultramarine selections for squad modes. Thus we can only choose Fire for Effect which allows us to single fire on moving targets as a reaction each round.

Just as an additional reminder, as Eradico mentioned, with Brother Quintus as the Squad Leader, Kill-team Umbra also has access to his Chapter Squad Mode Abilities, Attack: "Lead by Example" (DW p. 222) and Defense: "Rally Cry" (DW p. 225). These might come in handy before the end of the siege on your strongppoint, particularly the Fellowship bonus to tests and re-roll offered by "Lead By Example".

Yeah I was saving it for a parry. Brother Vex isn't known for being nimble on his feet.

Had a hunch, Bal. Raveners can deal out a lot of punishment with melee.

Flamer damage = 2d10 + 6 pen 6= 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (5, 8) + 6 = 19 plus 1d10+4 fire damage with an agility test each round at -20.

The cone of searing flame engulfs the charging ravener, melting its jagged-edged carapace, but barely slowing its headlong attack.

The ravener sustains 11 Wounds damage, and is on fire from the previous attack. As it is still the first round it will sustain the additional fire damage at the beginning of the next round.

The creature, dwarfing even the mighty Ultramarine as it rears back, swings one long, segmented arm, the talon trying to impale Brother Quintus ablaze with the liquid promethium still adhering to it.

WS = 60, +10 (Charging), modified WS = 70, rolling, 1d100 ⇒ 13, a hit.

Rolling damage, 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23, with a Penetration of 3, this results in 8 Wounds to Brother Quintus.

The scything spur of hardened bone and chitin pierces the leader of Kill-team Umbra's chest plate just above the environmental seal connecting it to his right pauldron, the spatters of white hot promethium sizzling across his chapter's livery.

Stepping sideways and presenting his profile to the hulking Tyranid, Brother Vex unsheathes his force sword, preparing to meet the sidewinding, serpentine advance of the xenos.

It is upon him in a heartbeat, raising its great, hooking talons high overhead to cut him in half.

WS = 60, 1d100 ⇒ 11, a hit.

Rolling damage for Scything Talons, 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18, with a Penetration of 3. This would incur 5 Wounds damage to Brother Vex failing a Dodge or Parry.

Battle Brothers Emeric, Caledonii, and Hrothgar, please attempt a Hard [-20] Awareness test.

Awarness 40+20 senses -20 difficulty=40 1d100 ⇒ 77

Parry Test (1d100=77)

I take the hit from the Ravenor without a sound, or grimace. I'm not aware if it has individual thought or not; but I don't want to give it the awareness of vulnerability. Nothing that would make feel I was prey.

Battle Brothers Emeric, Caledonii, and Hrothgar, please attempt a Hard [-20] Awareness test.

Awareness (40) + Senses (20) - Hard Test (20) = 40 Roll 1d100 ⇒ 33

Battle Brothers Emeric, Caledonii, and Hrothgar, please attempt a Hard [-20] Awareness test.
